Willian Will start and Will be our most important player. I would like to see Caballero. There might very will be penalty here and Caballero been brilliant when he played for us. I think he fits our system better than Courtois that seams to have his head in Spain already.

We're going to score 3 or 4 goals Wednesday, i predict a 3-3.       0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3.  Alonso equaliser late late on.

I can’t wait to see Willian play. He’s going to rip their defence to shreds!
The only thing is can we keep them from scoring? I doubt we can, but I am confident we will score, especially with Willian’s incredible form and the class of Hazard.
I really doubt we’ll beat them, but I can see a scoring draw. 2 - 2 would be perfect.

Willian is more crucial than Hazard for us at the moment. He’s currently a world beater.

He needs a spell out of the side but the trouble is Luiz is out, for whatever reason. Let's not mess about, Christensen is nowhere near Luiz' level of last season, nowhere near, nor should he be, considering he's young and Luiz was a monster last season. The trouble with Christensen is not so much the recent mistakes, but the way he gets bullied. He's nowhere near tough or brave enough, physically. Against Palace, he was totally dominated in the air, and you can't afford that in the English game. I think he'll improve in this respect but he needs a bit of time. He's neither big, strong or fast, and for that reason he's going to have to learn to be cuter.

This team may not have the leaders from the 2012 team but this team has more talent and pace to hurt Barca. In the first leg we created many opportunities and on another day could have won 3-0 or 3-1 but such is our luck this season . If we show the right attitude we can definitely score more than 1 at the Camp Nou. The players seem more motivated in the CL & understandably so. I think 2 goals would do it for us, i don't think we'll concede more than 2. Going for a 2 all draw. Goodluck blues.

I love the enthusiasm. The thing is, this current team isn't anything like that one. For a start you had 3, maybe 4 leaders in that 2011-2012 team. Fight, passion, determination, experience and quality. 

The players need to watch the 2012 game against Barca away and try to replicate the fight which that team showed if we want to stand any chance of making the quarter finals.

Hazard is 27, can't see him really improving his goal scoring output too much, he is just a very unselfish player. 
He is a creator, so as long as he is making chances, which he did yesterday, then for me, I'm just happy to see him express himself. 
Don't really care what Salah, Sanchez or sterling do, neither are fit enough to lace hazards boots.  
 

Top post. 
A lot of problems on this side still, this is a really bad Palace side and we could only just about scrape a soppy 2-1 victory. Forget the chances we made, Palace could've scored about 3-4 as well due to our mistakes and their pressing alone. 
The philosophy of playing out the back isn't whats problematic, it's that we haven't got good enough players to do it. Pep's team does it and it's why they're unplayable, you just can't get the ball off them. Rudiger, Luiz & Azpilucueta are our only capable defenders of playing it out from the back, but with the David Luiz situation, it has caused us a lot of problems this season. Many people will disagree, they think Christensen has not only filled the void but he's upgraded, that's not necessarily true. I highly rate Christensen, he's actually our best defender when it comes to actual defending, but as a footballer, he's very limited, it's like another Kurt Zouma situation before his injury. And the distribution from the back compared to last season is what's really punished us, people won't see it because we've created a lot of chances but we just don't have that solid build-up play like we did last season. 
Gary Cahill gets much worse every season, Luiz has an attitude problem and has been riddled with injuries, so we are left with Christensen, although that's not really bad thing it is when we are playing in this system. People are only realising it now because the mistakes have caught up with us, but his distribution was never top tier, this system will not work right now, we just don't have the players for it because our spine is f**ked.
Bad
Good-Bad-Good
Good-Good-Bad-Good

For me the problem lies right there, not saying our wingbacks are world class or Willian is consistent, but they're minor problems and probably not even problems at all. The main issues are and I will probably get a lot of slack for saying this is Courtois in goal, this system definitely does not suit him. Not going to go into his shot stopping, but his distribution is piss poor, our middle centre-back can't play it out from the back when we had that creativity from the centre last season. We have nobody to play next to Kante, and Morata has gone missing for our key striker.
SO yes that's basically our spine that is f**ked, the most key part of a system. 

I think it's only you and me noticing this, which I find very ironic. 

Thought the link up play between the front 3 was exceptional yesterday and the Willian goal that resulted from the three combining was one of the goals of the season.
Does help when your striker stays on his feet and isn't on his arse for the majority of attacks, so move after move breaks down.
 

I agree. The only top performers yesterday were the front 3 and maybe Kante. The rest were between average and poor.

Pleasing performance on the whole,. Hazard just magic. Willian impressive, too.
 
Think Batshuayi needs a loan, better today than he has been but still frustrating at times.  Needs to start weekly and wont happen here

Wonderful assist by Musonda. A great finish by Moses. If Morata had that chance he would've likely shot off target lol. Fantastic win by Chelsea today. We're back on track !!

Finally a nice convincing and emphatic win. Hazard was a joy to watch from the beginning and so glad Conte let him play the whole 90. This game is proof that you keep your best player on the pitch at all times unless victory is all but sealed. The biggest smile I had on my face however was before the game started. So glad we went 3-4-3. Just much more fluid and takes the pressure off Hazard as you have the other winger in Willian causing havoc however him in the 3-5-2 requires way too much reliance on Hazard. I hope Conte persists with 3-4-3 more against lower placed opposition. Just gives the opposition more breathing space.
The whole team impressed bar Alonso who was a little below-par but would like to give credit to Bakoyoko. Another impressive showing today. Switched off a couple times however looked really impressive and quite a monster out there with his power and you saw that Yaya Toure ability when he is able to accelerate with the ball.
Gives us a good added goal difference too and we have a few nice fixtures in league coming up so good that we ended the little rut. Bring on Arsenal!

I dont believe this one i think its just the press having a bit of a laugh with it all and knowing everyone will read it.

That Willian booking is totally wrong, the only reason he went down is because a big leg was out stretched in front of him. If that's not a penalty then wtf is ?

Yes. Playing in the Championship. 

hudson-odoi, hazard and willian, watch the goals flow. 

A disgraceful comment, call yourself a fan?
We have had some amazing moments in this competition. Di Matteo's goal, all of Drogba's goals in the finals. Brilliant memories. I would love to win it again.
Well done to the team for converting all the penalties, after all that what happened it would have been easy to implode. I'm pleased to be in the next round.

Very true.

At least good to see 3 on top. I'm also very happy to see Luiz.
